A crazy week in LA for La Carmina and Sebastiano… In addition to the Melrose charity event, we also hosted the Q Pop art fundraiser, with all proceeds going to Japan. Once again, it was a treat to collaborate with Tune in Tokyo DJ Greg Hignight.

Participating artists in the auction included Junko Mizuno, and illustrators for Power Puff Girls, Samurai Jack and Pixar.

We had a wonderful time meeting you, and interviewed several participants for a video… it’ll be on my YouTube channel soon.

Dig Jelly vocalist Rayko spoke movingly about how her mother was in Tokyo during the quake. She managed to get her on a flight to LA, where she’ll stay for three to six months. So many lives in upheaval…

Q Pop shop has adorable Japanese toys, books, accessories and more.

Lovely to see LA friends again.

Thank you Leon for the generous gifts from Lush!

Chris, owner of the boutique, did an amazing job in coordinating the event on short notice.

So nice to see artists like Dig Jelly come together for charity.

I highly urge you to visit the Q Pop shop in Little Tokyo. It’s the only store in Los Angeles that sells Sex Pot Revenge, Swimmer, Algonquins, Super Lovers, and other Goth Lolita Punk brands from Japan!

Big hugs to everyone who came to support, and donated time and resources to the fundraiser. Let’s keep the momentum going.

I should do more research to find shops like this in Holland/Europe, that shop looks awesome.

I hope they raised much money ^_^ I’ts always impressive when such a quickly organized event works out well.

PS: I think leopard only works when it gives something sexy with it. Like: leopard printed thighs or tight and short leopard dress. It’s a boring motif because the motif repeats quickly. So when the clothing is too much covering the whole outfit, it wouldn’t work out well. This dress works fine. Though, you could have made yourself look taller by wearing a longer coat and wear high shoes (if you did wear them: excuse me, I couldn’t see them on the pics!)

Yay! Awesome pic! I had a lot of fun performing. And I was so happy to be a part of the event! I am doing anything I can to help. I donated more money yesterday and raised a good amount for my online fundraiser too! :) Next weekend I will be performing with my whole band at the cherry blossom festival! That would be cool if you can come with your Japan sign! Okay talk to you soon!
